Abstract: A method to verify in a host system that the expected PSD is coupled
to the host. The host system generates a message, such as a random
number and sends to the PSD. In one embodiment, the random number is
signed in the PSD. The signed number is transmitted to the host where the
signature is verified. In an alternate embodiment, the PSD encrypts the
number and transmits it to the host system. The host system decrypts the
encrypted number and ensures it corresponds with the number originally
generated and transmitted to the PSD. Methods for verifying in a PSD that
the expected host is coupled to the PSD mirrors the two embodiments for
verifying the expected PSD. The generated message may include data
indicating status of the PSD based, for example a checksum of PSD
transaction records stored in the host system.

Abstract: A flywheel energy conversion device provides highly efficient conversion between kinetic and electrical energy. The flywheel produces increased output by providing armature coils in an air gap formed about the flywheel (both radial and axial embodiments are described). In preferred embodiments, field coils of a magnetic circuit are energized with DC drive current that creates homopolar flux within a rotating solid rotor having teeth cut from a flat disk. The total reluctance of the magnetic circuit and total flux remain substantially constant as the rotor rotates. The flux may travel radially outward and exit the flat disk through the teeth passing across an armature air gap. Airgap armature coils are preferably utilized in which the changing flux density (due to the rotating teeth) induces an output voltage in the coils. The flux is diffused before returning to the rotor in one of several ways such that core losses are effectively reduced, thereby enabling the flywheel to operate efficiently at high frequencies.

Abstract: The bacterial phosphotransferase system (PTS) as a drug target system catalyses the
uptake and phosphorylation of carbohydrates. It is further involved in signal transduction,
e.g. catabolite repression, chemotaxis, and allosteric regulation of metabolic enzymes and
transporters. It is ubiquitous in bacteria but does not occur in eukaryotes. This uniqueness
and the pleiotropic function make the PTS a target for the development of new
antimicrobials. Assays are described that lead to the discovery of compounds which
uncouple the PTS, by acting as protein histidine/cysteine phosphatases. Uncoupling of
the PTS leads to inhibition of carbohydrate transport, repression of catabolite controlled
genes (e.g. certain virulence genes) and depletion of phosphoenolpyruvate. Compounds
from combinatorial libraries with high affinity for phosphoenolpyruvat-protein-phosphatase
(Enzyme I) serve as lead structures for the development of inhibitors and uncouplers of
the PTS.
